I have no doubt that most, if not all of us, has at some time experienced a dream or a vision. You may have even heard that still small voice of God giving you direction for present or events and future projects that He desires you to have involvement in.

As a boy growing up in the city of Ipswich, Queensland we were in close contact with many industrial enterprises such as coal mining, woolen mills, saw mills and the largest railway workshop in the State. Along with these huge industries came the need for several Foundries. A Foundry is an establishment that produces castings in molten metal. The Foundries would manufacture boilers, tools and many other parts for the machinery used in these industries. Manufacturing these spare parts was done by an ancient method called Metal Casting. This was done simply by first making a sand mold in the shape of the tool or piece of machinery required, and then pouring in the required molten metal. This was then allowed to cool and set.

When you hear from the Lord, the first thing you can be sure of is that if your dream, vision or His word for the people will always be in harmony with His Word and His Spirit. The second is that if it is from God you have no need to worry about how, where, when and why. If God has spoken to you He will surely bring it to pass if we are willing to cast it in the foundry of our hearts. Many times God has directed His people in these ways, but sadly for many diverse reasons, to often they are neglected or forgotten and have died in the heart of His people. Can you just imagine the first morning that Joseph awoke in the Presidential Suite of the Prime Ministers mansion down in old Egypt? The servants who brought in his breakfast that morning had no idea why Joseph had that stupid grin on his face. Yes, it was more than a dream; God had bought it to pass. Joseph had held onto those dreams through rejection, false accusation and even years of imprisonment. A long time ago he had cast those dreams in the foundry of his heart. How? Joseph believed God and lent not on his own understanding. It is with this thought in mind we would like to ask you to continue to support the visions of the Overseas Missions Department. We need your prayers and finances to fulfill our vision in reaching many souls with the Apostolic message in Indonesia, West Papua and East Timor. We pray that this vision will also be cast in the Foundry of your hearts. When it comes to our role in the work of the Lord, the bottom line is reaching a lost and dying world.

Yours for souls,

Ewan. J Glass
